24
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 6: Okay, all right, all right, yeah, okh oh oh boy.

25
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, thank you guys for still making

26
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 3: rock and making great rock. Like when does it become

27
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 3: time to make another album? How do you figure that out?

28
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 5: I don't know. I think it's it's kind of it

29
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 5: whatever it feels, right. We're not I mean, we're not

30
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 5: really on any sort of schedule. It's funny. We are

31
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 5: sort of consistent in that it's about every three years,

32
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 5: but the same thing happens every time, where we'll go

33
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 5: in and we'll make a record and we'll spend a

34
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 5: couple of months working on it, and then once we're done,

35
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 5: we tour for maybe a year and a half or

36
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 5: something like that. And then once we're done with the tour,

37
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 5: we swear that we'll never fucking do it again, and

38
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 5: that we're gonna go home and take a big long break.

39
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 5: And we take a break, and within I don't know,

40
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 5: a few months, we just start sort of writing.

41
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 3: And sending to each other.

42
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 5: And then I think once once the songs really start

43
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 5: taking shape or the concept starts taking shape, if you've

44
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 5: done a bunch of demos and then you find this

45
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,519
Speaker 5: place in all of those demos that makes sense. Then

46
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 5: once you feel that or really see it, you're like, Okay,

47
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 5: now we know what we're gonna do.

48
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 3: Let's go in and do it.

49
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 5: And then we try to this one we did really quickly,

50
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 5: so but I think it's just a gut feeling, like

51
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 5: you just.

52
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 3: Know how many songs we're in the running for the

53
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 3: album A lot. He's pretty prolific.

54
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 7: There's like twenty five, so you can't get a touch.

55
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 3: There was one song.

56
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's weird because we also have a funny way

57
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 5: of doing it where I'll come up with ideas. I

58
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 5: have a little studio above my garage in my house,

59
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 5: and we'll come up with ideas and I'll come up

60
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 5: with some sort of melodic idea, and then I send

61
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 5: it to everybody and I basically say like, am I

62
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 5: fucking crazy? Or is this any good? And so it

63
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 5: starts with this big swarm of instrumentals and just kind

64
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 5: of like weird compositions, and then it kind of turns

65
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 5: into something really specific and cohesive. You know, everyone touches

66
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 5: it makes its way around and everyone touches the song.

67
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 3: It's just a caress, yeah, a little cuddle. Yeah.

68
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 5: I mean, it's funny like if you record something by

69
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 5: yourself the way that you know, all of us have

70
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 5: other side projects and stuff where we record.

71
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 3: Things sort of on our own.

72
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 5: When you record something totally on your own, it's really

73
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 5: just that your one sort of vision or perspective or

74
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 5: your one way to do it. But if you give

75
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 5: the song to everybody and everyone grabs a hold of

76
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 5: their side and pulls it in their own direction, it

77
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 5: kind of makes it. Then it sounds like the band.

78
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 5: Then that sort of widens the concept or the sound

79
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 5: of the song. And so it's just it sounds better

80
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 5: when we're all doing stuff together, songs together. Then a demo.

81
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 5: A demo is just kind of a silly idea.

82
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 3: So you really bury the lead earlier, like, Yeah, we'll

83
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 3: go on tour for a year and a half. That's

84
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 3: a fucking long time taking for fun? Does everyone think

85
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 3: it's fun tour?

86
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 8: We take breaks in between a month here, a couple

87
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 8: of weeks off, a couple of months.

88
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 3: On, so we don't burn out. Yeah, just so you

89
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 3: can go to Mexico.

90
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 8: Go to Mexico, catch some waves, come back to.

91
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 5: Tour, all right, Are you feeling that the dynamic here.

92
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 3: I'm feeling it.

93
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean basically, it's you know, thirty years ago,

94
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 5: when we first started touring, it was like we do

95
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 5: seven shows and then have a day off, and then

96
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 5: do six shows and have a day off, and you know,

97
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 5: those are the early years, the van years, those are

98
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 5: early tours. Now it's like, you know, we go out

99
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,799
Speaker 5: for a few weeks, we come home for a few weeks,

100
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 5: we go out for a month, we come home for

101
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 5: a little bit, and so I think we've we've learned

102
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 5: how to make it last longer by not hitting it

103
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 5: as hard as we used to.

104
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can't hit as hard as I

105
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 3: used to either. I want to hear the first cut

106
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 3: of your record, but I want to talk to you

107
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 3: about the first tour you guys went on with Mike Watt.

108
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 3: I love Mike. All right, all right, teenagers, let's listen

109
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 3: to the opening track from Your Favorite Toy. Here's Caught

110
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 3: in the Echo. That was Caught in the Echo off

111
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 3: the Food Fighters, their new album, Your Favorite Toy. My

112
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 3: name's Johnny Knoxville. You can really feel the base in

113
00:06:55,040 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 3: these chairs. I can't say that I'm not aroused. Wow,

114
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 3: And you know we're gonna play the whole album tonight

115
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 3: and that.

116
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 5: Well, it's funny because, I mean, all we've been doing

117
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 5: every day is rehearsing for like six hours a day

118
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 5: because we're about to jump into the next phase of like,

119
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 5: you know, going to bad shows and stuff like that.

120
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 5: And so when the song kicked in, I was like, God,

121
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 5: this sounds so much different than my truck. So but

122
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 5: like a song like that in particular, after we've recorded

123
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,119
Speaker 5: it and we're getting ready to go play it live,

124
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 5: we're really focused on on specific parts of the song.

125
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 3: I mean, we were just we're.

126
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 5: Like, okay, everybody listen to the build. Because we've been

127
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 5: working on the build the last couple of days. We're like, okay,

128
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 5: so you should do that part, and then Pat, you

129
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 5: should do the thing, and then and so it's kind

130
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 5: of it's it's nice to hear it on different speakers

131
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 5: to see is.

132
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 3: The build you've been rehearsing the same or is it

133
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 3: I suppose.

134
00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 5: It could be better. We can make it better. It has.

135
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 3: Six hours. You guys are disciplined.

136
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 4: Well, he didn't say we're playing for six hours.

137
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 5: You're talking to a guy that was the nine inch

138
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 5: nails for twenty years. Like we're one of the least

139
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 5: disciplined bands in the world.

140
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 3: Usually what happened is, well, like only six hours.

141
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, Square Bull rehearse for maybe about twenty minutes, and

142
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 5: like we should order lunch and then we just sit

143
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 5: around and we talk for half an hour. We get

144
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 5: stuff done, but you know, it's kind of loose in

145
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 5: this band.

146
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, you guys are doing okay. Thanks. So you you

147
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,559

Speaker 3: cotton the Echo. Yeah, what was that?

149
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 5: I had a day off.

150
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was basically it.

151
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 5: Like I was like, God, you would be kind of funny.

152
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 5: What if I burned twenty CDs upstairs in my office

153
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 5: and then my daughter Harper and I made artwork on

154
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 5: like little like paper and then I went and put

155
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:09,440

156
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,319

158
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 9: Yes?

159
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 5: Shot the moon as you got it in the in

160
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 5: the charcoal section, right, Yeah, yeah, I got to write

161
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 5: there totally.

162
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 3: Yeah.

163
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 5: The funniest was the worst part was I felt like

164
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 5: I thought I was going to get arrested because I

165
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 5: just looked so suspicious because I didn't want anyone to see.

166
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 5: And I'd walk in there and it would be in

167
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 5: my pocket and I'm looking around to see if there's

168
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 5: cameras watch it. And then I'd walk in with nothing

169
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 5: and then take it out of my pocket and kind

170
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 5: of like at ikea Ike was the best. I was

171
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 5: walking around from showroom to showroom, just like, no, I

172
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,199
Speaker 5: don't like that showroom. Oh look at that couch, We

173
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 5: look at that bookshelf, and then I put it in

174
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 5: and like run out as fast as I could. You

175
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 5: were verse. I actually raps was the only place where

176
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 5: I got spied by a security guy. He was like,

177
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 5: the fuck are you doing in the charcoil? Yes, but

178
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 5: it was just fun. It's not unlike when like when

179
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 5: I recorded the first Food Fighters record, did it super quick?

180
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 5: Did it a studio down the street from my house,

181
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 5: and I made a hundred cassettes and it wasn't a

182
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 5: band yet, and there was no record or record company

183
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 5: or anything.

184
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 3: And I had this box of cassettes in the back

185
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 3: of my truck.

186
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 5: And there would be sometimes where people would say, like

187
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 5: at a gas station once, this guy's like, whoa dude?

188
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 3: You know? I was a fan of Nirvana. What are

189
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 3: you doing now? And I'm like, oh, hold on.

190
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 5: I go to the back of my truck and I'm like,

191
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 5: check it out, and I give him a cassette. And

192
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 5: there's something about that that is not unlike the early days,

193
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 5: like the early food Fighters days, or the Watt tour days,

194
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 5: the first tour and stuff like that.

195
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 3: It's just fun. And for Mike Watt, you played, you

196
00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 3: did your set, and then you played in this band after. Yeah.

197
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 5: So Mike Watt, legendary bass player, was in a band

198
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 5: called the Minuteman and a hero to everybody, and he

199
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 5: made a record where he had a bunch of different

200
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 5: people play on it.

201
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 3: It was like ninety four.

202
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 5: I think Pat was on a song and he asked

203
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 5: if I would play drums on one of the songs,

204
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 5: and I did, and Eddie Vedder was on a few

205
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 5: of the songs or on that song, and then he

206
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 5: wanted to go on tour, so he asked if I

207
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 5: would play drums and have Eddie Vedder play guitar and

208
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 5: have Watt play bass and sing, and so I was

209
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 5: and we had we were a band at that point,

210
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 5: but we hadn't toured. And I said yes, I'll do it,

211
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 5: but can my new band open up for you? And

212
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 5: he said yes, And then Eddie had a side project

213
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 5: called Hovercraft, and so Eddie's side project would play first

214
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 5: and then the Foods would play. But then we were

215
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 5: all in his band. We were all in Watt's band.

216
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 5: And that was the intense tour, which was like eight

217
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 5: days on one day off, eight days on one day off.

218
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 5: There were some days where I mean he toured like

219
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 5: super old school punk rock stuff. Yeah. There were some

220
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 5: days where there'd be two states in the same day

221
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 5: and I'd be like, what what are you There's.

222
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 3: Like two shows and there's two different states, and.

223
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 5: He said, well, you know, some states are really close

224
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 5: to each other.

225
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 3: That really lit me up that you guys played with him,

226
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 3: and I just I love them. I mean, we use

227
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 3: Corona as our theme song. But oh yeah, that's right. Yeah,

228
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 3: so he.

229
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 5: Means a lot to me too, and it's an amazing dude.

230
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 3: Yeah.

231
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, And that was the perfect way to begin for

232
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 5: us too, because you know, we come from we come

233
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 5: from that punk rock scene and those van tours, and

234
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 5: it felt like that's how you do it, you know.

235
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 3: The first what's his book? Our band could be your life.

236
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 3: I think Mike Watt's book.

237
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, well you know the other Wait, what was the

238
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 5: what was the Rolins book? Rollins had this. It was

239
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 5: called Get in the Van?

240
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 3: Do you know about that had?

241
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 5: Like we had the book on tape and we were

242
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 5: listening to Rollin's Getting the Van while we were in

243
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 5: the fucking van, and I was like, turn this fucking

Speaker 5: Well, Okay, here's the funny thing. So since we recorded

257
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 5: this and it's like my office, it's above my garage

258
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 5: in my house six oh six. No, that's our actual

259
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 5: That studio was like this big. That studio is a

260
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 5: big studio. This one we did like in my house

261
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 5: in this room. That's not big enough to have all

262
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 5: of us in it at the same time. So it's

263
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 5: like you wake up in the morning. This song, in particular,

264
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 5: I wrote it the night before and I'm like, hey,

265
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 5: I got.

266
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 3: A new song.

267
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 5: Heyl, can you be here at ten o'clock? He's like sure,

268
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 5: And the night's end of the thing. No, I didn't.

269
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 3: There wasn't even a demo or anything.

270
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 9: I got so many songs to learn at seven am

271
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 9: when I was barely having a functioning brain that I

272
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 9: don't remember when it happened, but it's always struggling to

273
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 9: get coffee, and then a text from Dave, Hey, what

274
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 9: are you doing?

275
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 3: Later he wakes up feeling good. I don't think he

276
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 3: ever goes to.

277
00:14:54,600 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 5: Sleep up before the sun. But So and I would

278
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 5: track live together and get an awesome live take and

279
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 5: then start calling everybody like, hey, could you be here

280
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 5: at noon? Okay, So if you're here at noon, then

281
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 5: the next person has to come at three because we

282
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 5: literally can't fit in the it's the same room. And

283
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 5: so when Pat was there, we were like, hey, Pat,

284
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 5: do a guitar solo. And I had to go and like,

285
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 5: I don't know, clean up the kitchen or something. Downstairs

286
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 5: and I come back and I'm like, how the solo go?

287
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 3: And they play it back.

288
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 5: And it's just going.

289
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 4: I want to keep it one note and it works.

290
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 5: And then Chris has a response.

291
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 3: He goes, it's like, you know, Beethoven, mission accomplished, mission accomplished.

292
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 3: Oh my god. So you've been making music for thirty

293
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 3: one years and I just want to know, Nate, how

294
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 3: do you do it? How do you do it? Yeah?

295
00:15:56,040 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 3: Thirty one years in the same Yeah, in the same band. Uh. Well,

296
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 3: it's it's fun that helps, you know what I mean.

297
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 7: It's like, yeah, it's it's not a thing where you

298
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 7: feel like you have to have to do it. Like

299
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 7: we still like getting in a room and making music,

300
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 7: just like when I was like seventeen, So I never

301
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 7: think about it like that, like, oh boy, I.

302
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 3: Got to make another record, right, you know. It's still

303
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 3: like it's uncommon though for a band.

304
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 7: Well it is, and we've been We've been fortunate enough

305
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 7: to like build fans over the years, so people come

306
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 7: see it and allow us to continue to do this thing,

307
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 7: which is a real privilege.

308
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 3: Yeah. And the thing that lit you up when this

309
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 3: is for anyone that lit you up when you first

310
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 3: wanted to get into music. Does that still light you

311
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 3: up today? It does for me.

312
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 5: I know that with that feeling like when you're young

313
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 5: and you get you get an instrument, and it becomes.

314
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 3: Sort of everything.

315
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 5: Right, So you get your first guitar and you get

316
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 5: your little hands figure out how to make chords and stuff,

317
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 5: and then you hear songs and maybe you have a

318
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 5: songbook and you play along to your records and it

319
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 5: just becomes like it's almost a puzzle, and then it's

320
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 5: hard to turn off, like the challenge of getting to

321
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 5: the next step. I mean, it's not unlike kids these

322
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,239
Speaker 5: days with video games. It's sort of like, you know,

323
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 5: you just want to level up right every time, and

324
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 5: you're just you're sort of pushing and learning something new

325
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 5: every time. And plus it's just such a beautiful extension

326
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 5: of like your soul and your emotions, and it becomes

327
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 5: an outlet.

328
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 3: It becomes your best.

329
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 5: Friend, and then it's like, you know, it's the fucking

330
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 5: coolest thing in the world. Yeah, I think most musicians

331
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 5: feel the same way. That it's not It's not something

332
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 5: that I would bump into people from high school that

333
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,199
Speaker 5: I played in garage bands with and I'd say, like,

334
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 5: are you still You're still playing the drums?

335
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 3: Like, no, I gave that up? Like how the fuck

336
00:17:56,040 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 3: do you give that up? That's crazy? Yeah, it was

337
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 3: never meant to be for them. No, Like you can't

338
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 3: give you know it's in you. You can't just kind

339
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 3: of kind of do it. Yeah, I gotta do it.

340
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 9: Plus, when you listen to music that you love, it

341
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 9: makes you want to play as well. So it's it's

342
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 9: impossible to not want to keep getting in that zone

343
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 9: where you're inspired, you're having fun, and then that just

344
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 9: kind of progresses into creating, and then it just becomes

345
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:25,479
Speaker 9: this this cycle.

346
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 3: Pat, who were you playing when you were learning? Who

347
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 3: were you trying to?

348
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 4: I was punching over my way as they say, And

349
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,439
Speaker 4: I love Steve Howe from Yes, and I wanted to

350
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 4: be like that. But right, you know, I've been learning

351
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 4: a bit of a piece, a bit of this, a

352
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 4: bit of that.

353
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 3: And just all the guitar players in the seventies. I

354
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 3: love them all. And that's awesome. Let's hear another two.

355
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 5: All right?

356
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 3: Here we go with Window by the Foo Fighters. My

357
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 3: name is Jehanna and I so that was Window by

358
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 3: the Foo Fighters off their album Your Favorite Toy. We're

359
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 3: listening to it first here tonight, and oh man, they

360
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 3: Harper sang on this your daughter Harper sang on not

361
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 3: this cut, but one of the cuts.

362
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 5: Well, you know the funny thing about that song window.

363
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 5: So my daughter Harper, she she plays guitar, bass and

364
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 5: drums and stuff, but.

365
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 3: She was just getting into the basis. He plays a

366
00:19:58,359 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 3: bunch of.

367
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 5: And so she she's painter, and she's an artist and sculptor,

368
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 5: the whole deal. She's a cook, she's a great cook.

369
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 5: I could go on and on, but so, so she

370
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 5: loves the Breeders, She's got great taste of music. She

371
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 5: loves the Breeders, she loves sonic cues, she loves wean,

372
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 5: she loves a bunch of stuff.

373
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 3: But so.

374
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 5: I had written this funny riff, that dude sort of thing,

375
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 5: and I thought like, I said, hey, will you help

376
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 5: me do a demo? I want you to play bass

377
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 5: on this demo. And so we went upstairs. I put

378
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 5: down the drums and she put the bass on it instead.

379
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 5: And to me, it was like, Yeah, it's probably not

380
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 5: going to be a song that's going to wind up

381
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 5: on the record. It's just a fun thing for Harpernett

382
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 5: to do, and then over time I thought like, why

383
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 5: funk not, Like, it's kind of a fun little riff,

384
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 5: Let's go for it. And it turned into like one

385
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 5: of my favorite songs on the whole record. It's kind

386
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 5: of the one moment on the record where it's not

387
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 5: just going like this. You'll see there's a lot more

388
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 5: of that, but but yeah, So there, I had this

389
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 5: idea for the song your Favorite Toy, that there be

390
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 5: this like Nana Na part and in the song, and

391
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 5: so I thought I would have Harper and my oldest

392
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 5: daughter Violet saying that Nana Na parts, but nobody was

393
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 5: ever like in the house at the same time. And

394
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 5: so there was one day where Harper was with their

395
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 5: friend and they were going out to the antique mall

396
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 5: or something, and I ran downstairs. I was like, wait, wait,

397
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 5: all you gotta do is come up here and go nanaa.

398
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 5: And so the Nana nas are Harper and her friend

399
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 5: on their way to the antique mall.

400
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 3: So it's really sweet.

401
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 5: Yes, that's what happens when you record in your own house.

402
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,400
Speaker 5: You know, you record your own house, and you wake

403
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 5: up in the morning, you go upstairs and you clean

404
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 5: up the studio before everyone comes, and then once everyone

405
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 5: shows up, then you wind up doing all your chores

406
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 5: and errands and stuff. And then by the end of

407
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 5: the day you have a couple of new songs and

408
00:21:58,720 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 5: you make dinner.

409
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 3: And it's great. It's it's the band, your family. Shit,

410
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 3: does anyone from the record company come by? Or is

411
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 3: that like off limits or like I said, it's a

412
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 3: really small room. Yeah, that's how I feel about people

413
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 3: visiting the set. You know, they never want to come

414
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 3: by our set. Though I don't blame.

415
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 5: Him, Yeah, I think we weren't better in our own

416
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 5: funny little isolation. You know, everyone we work with is awesome,

417
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 5: and you know, most of the people we work with,

418
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 5: it's been thirty years, right, some people it's been thirty

419
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 5: six years that we've been with and so so we

420
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 5: have a great sort of extended family of awesome people.

421
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 5: But when we make records, it's usually just like us

422
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 5: crammed in a little space.

423
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 4: And the Oliver and Alley, who like literally made the

424
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 4: record with us, just work at our studio and they're

425
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 4: great at what they do and like.

426
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 3: Record right, you're in. And then he produced this album

427
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 3: m hmm, that's great. What what did you see in him?

428
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 3: You're like, I think he should produce.

429
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 5: It's just an amazing engineer. And he's a great producer too.

430
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 3: He really is good.

431
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 5: I mean, it's funny. We like, we really just kind

432
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 5: of fall into stuff. That's what's been happening for thirty years, right,

433
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 5: There's never really much major committee decision. It's like, hey,

434
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 5: let's start next week. It's you think, Oliver do it,

435
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 5: and Oliver's like, sure, okay, starts, you know, kind of

436
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 5: getting the studio upgraded, and then we just go for it.

437
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 5: I mean, most of the people we work with, it

438
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 5: usually begins with a friendship and then it turns into

439
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 5: a thing.

440
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 3: It's the same with us. It's been a family for

441
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 3: twenty five years, our cast and crew, and yeah, there's

442
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 3: no planning, you know. It's just like you guys, it's

443
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 3: should we make another one now? And then yeah, I

444
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 3: was thinking about that today.

445
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 5: It's really similar then your gang and your guys, you

446
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 5: know all the you know, all the years that you

447
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 5: guys have been.

448
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 3: Beating the fucking shit out of your head.

449
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 5: It's like we're whining about flying around the world playing

450
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 5: rock shows and you're getting fucking kicked in the nuts

451
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 5: every other.

452
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, should have went to college. All right, do you

453
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 3: guys pay for another tune? All right, here's your Favorite

454
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 3: Toy kicking out the Footlights with the title track Your

455
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 3: Favorite Toy by the Foo Fighters. Man, it's a great album.

456
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 3: Like I've been listening to a lot. I was lucky

457
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 3: enough you guys sent it to me. It's yeah, I'm

458
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 3: pretty psyched on it. Now do you guys? Do you

459
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 3: record with a click track or only ask because my

460
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 3: cousin Roger hates them, or you like a walking click track?

461
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 4: Can't stand them?

462
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 5: Uh, well, it's some songs we do. So that song

463
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 5: in particular, that was one where Cotton the echo wasn't

464
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 5: of all people, wasn't window wasn't. This song started with

465
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,679
Speaker 5: kind of this acoustic idea. First it was really just

466
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 5: kind of an acoustic stomp like and it really did

467
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 5: stem from this demo idea. And then it got noisier,

468
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 5: Then it got noisier, then it got noisier, and then

469
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 5: Alim got on it and fucking tore it up. And

470
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 5: so but we have done it over the years. Yeah,

471
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 5: we've done that, but this record, a lot of it

472
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 5: was just like off the cuff, just alon in this

473
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 5: tiny room that was about the size of a little

474
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 5: shower or something like that, and then me sitting on

475
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 5: the couch in front of him behind the glass, just

476
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 5: going for it. So yeah, sometimes we do, but this

477
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 5: record like that's that's one of the few songs that

478
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 5: we did.

479
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 3: The Roger hates Roger hates him? You do it? How

480
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 3: is it playing when Dave hired you? Like, was it intimidating?

481
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 3: Like playing because I mean, he's a great drummer, he.

482
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 9: Is, honestly, Uh no, because you got to think I'm

483
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 9: there because these guys want me there, right, So what's

484
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 9: there to be intimidated by or nervous about?

485
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 3: You know, it's you.

486
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 9: Had a good childhood, not like me, so from the

487
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 9: very beginning, a lot of energy, but a lot of

488
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 9: excitement and respect, I guess, and just taking it from

489
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 9: the beginning.

490
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 5: He's so fucking good it's insane and that that really

491
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,919
Speaker 5: really and plus it's you know, it really has to

492
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 5: do with the energy in the field, not of just

493
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 5: what you're hearing, but what you're feeling when you play.

494
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 5: And so it's it's that excitement of playing with someone

495
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 5: and and you kind of feel like you're in on

496
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 5: an inside joke and you're pushing it and pushing it

497
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 5: and pushing it. And the more you push it and

498
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 5: the more energy is coming out of it. It makes

499
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 5: you smile and it makes you want to play harder,

500
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 5: it makes you want to play faster, and so yeah,

501
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 5: so when you find that.

502
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 3: It's like it's the best thing in the world.

503
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 5: But I mean, honestly, if anybody has ever watched it

504
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 5: on and watched one of his fucking ripping drum solos

505
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,919
Speaker 5: that he'll do at the end of any song, you know,

506
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 5: when we first started playing together, Elan was very respectful

507
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,360
Speaker 5: and doing.

508
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 3: Now a complete asshole.

509
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 5: And like he would like wind up doing something that

510
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 5: was just bonkers, and I'd say, no, no more more,

511
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 5: do more that, more of that. And so it gets

512
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 5: to the point where it's like the energy is just

513
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 5: off the charts because we're just letting it on.

514
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 3: Just go. It makes a big difference. It's great.

515
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,120
Speaker 7: And rip Mozart on the piano, which we discovered.

516
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 5: The Yeah today there's a piano at art studio and

517
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 5: he's like, where'd you get this piano?

518
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 3: And then he starts playing fucking Mozart or something. I'm like,

519
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 3: what no friends growing up.

520
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 9: But going back to what we were saying about the click,

521
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 9: this band does not play to a click live, which

522
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 9: is also very different these days because most bands do.

523
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,880
Speaker 9: And that was very refreshing to step into because with

524
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 9: the energy shifting and depending on what song follows the next,

525
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 9: that kind of whether you realize it or not, determines

526
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,360
Speaker 9: the feel and the speed of each song that follows.

527
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 9: So it kind of the set list takes on a

528
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 9: momentum of its own, and without being to a click,

529
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 9: you can really ride that to its fullest potential.

530
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 3: Roger would agree, Yeah, Roger, Yeah, yeah, you get him

531
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 3: off the whiskey, he'll agree.

532
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 9: Or just the right amount, just the right Yeah, there's

533
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 9: the ticket.

534
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 3: Oh my god. So the next song is if you

535
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 3: only knew? What is the meaning of that song, Dave?

536
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 3: If you only knew?

537
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 5: I think it is feeling maybe misunderstood, so that there's

538
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 5: a line in the song that says, if you only knew,

539
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 5: maybe you'd feel the way that I do. And so

540
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 5: in that regard, it's is knowing that knowing that not

541
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 5: everyone could understand the way that you feel, and something

542
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 5: like that I've never had to explain that before.

543
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 3: It's about empathy. Here we are with if You Own

544
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 3: by the Foo Fighters. Wow, that'll peel the skin off

545
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 3: your pudding. I love it. What do you guys think

546
00:29:54,960 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 3: about the album? All right, you're on iHeartRadio. We're having

547
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 3: a listening party for your favorite toy, the Foo Fire's

548
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 3: twelfth album. So, like, did I ask the ramone see

549
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 3: how fast they could make a song? Do you kind

550
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 3: of see how fast you can make an album?

551
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 5: I guess.

552
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 3: I mean it's great because there's no filler.

553
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 5: It's just yeah, I think we're we worked best under

554
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 5: like spatial restriction and deadline.

555
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 3: No, I'm talking about like length, like it's like thirty

556
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:33,479
Speaker 3: six minutes.

557
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 5: Ye, it wasn't Slayers wereen in Blood like twenty five

558
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 5: minutes long or.

559
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 3: So okay, okay, okay, it's yeah.

560
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 5: I remember when I was a kid back in the

561
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 5: punk rock days, and it was like nineteen eighty three.

562
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 5: I went to go to the Rock Against Reagan concert

563
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,239
Speaker 5: in Washington, d C. On the fourth of July on

564
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 5: the Mall, and so it was like that's the day

565
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 5: where everybody goes down and there's like fireworks and stuff

566
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,040
Speaker 5: and there was a stage in the middle of it

567
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 5: where it's like the Dead Kennedy's and dr and blah

568
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 5: blah blah, all these bands. But this band called Dri.

569
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 5: They're from Texas, Dirty Rotten imbeciles, Dri from Texas. I

Speaker 5: bought their twenty two song seven inch show yeah from

571
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 5: the singer, and so I was like that to me,

572
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 5: it was like, oh, okay, yeah, why waste any fucking

573
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 5: time here, Let's let's just get it done.

Speaker 3: you guys tour all over the world. Do you have

576
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 3: like a place you're always psyched to go to or

577
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 3: is there like a particular place?

578
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 7: Well, the UK is like home base for us. Yeah,

579
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 7: that's always feels like home. Go to London, right, and

580
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 7: sort of branch out from there.

581
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 3: Because your shows are insane, they're like legendary. They're good

582
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 3: over there. They're good over there.

583
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 8: Yes, we get psyched every time we go to Japan. Yeah,

584
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 8: it doesn't love Japan.

585

Speaker 5: k of it.

588
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 3: I haven't been an Iceland. You gotta go very different America.

589
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 5: Come from the land of the ice in the snow

590
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 5: with the midnight sun and the hot springs glow. Wow,

00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 3: You're preaching to the choir.

593
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 5: I'm just saying, yeah, that's the deal. Yeah, Ice, it's

594
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 5: kind of amazing.

595
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 3: I'd like to go.

596
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 5: Let's book it ready, let's go. Okay, tell Iceland, we're coming.

597
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:57,200

00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 3: about guitars. Rod we got he's pretty good picker.

599
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 5: Okay, No, everywhere, Like you know, it's it's funny that

600
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 5: you travel around the world and whether it's in Australia

601
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 5: or Iceland, or South America or Spain, anywhere in Europe

602
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 5: or all across America, it's like people just fucking love

603
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 5: rock and roll music. Yeah, and even if it's not

604
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 5: their native tongue, Like you go and you play shows

605
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 5: and people who aren't fluent in the language we're singing,

606
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 5: sing every word to the song. South America and there's

607
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:36,239
Speaker 5: some places where they just go fucking ape shit and

608
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 5: it's just like a field of one hundred thousand people

609
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 5: just bounce it.

610
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 3: It's crazy. Yeah.

611
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's different everywhere, but I mean, ultimately people just

612
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 5: want to.

613
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 3: Fuck in it. Right. That's another like thing we have

614
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 3: in common, Like with jack Asid goes to places all

615
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 3: around the world, and you don't even need to know

616
00:33:55,120 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 3: what we're saying, you know, It's like they get it through. Yeah,

617
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 3: it's probably better if you don't know what you're saying.

618
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 3: But you guys have something to say.

619
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 9: I'm gonna watch Jackass with subtitles. I think that would

620
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 9: be good.

621
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 5: Can you just overdubbed the voices and stuff.

622
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:18,600

646
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,399

647
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 3: you guys have just hooks for days.

648
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 5: So it's like a bait and tackle shop because it's

649
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:10,399
Speaker 5: like a bait and tackle saved my life. But it's

650
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:14,919
Speaker 5: but but it's so but that's right.

651
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:16,879
Speaker 3: I don't know what it is, and I.

652
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 5: Wait for it. At this point, I wait for it.

653
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 5: I'm like, Okay, we're done.

654
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:21,320

655
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 3: We're done?

656
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, it always comes last. I think it's because I

657
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 5: listened to the record. I'm like, God, this record needs

658
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 5: one good song, and then we make that one and

659
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:35,879
Speaker 5: it's good. Yeah.

660
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 3: So you guys go on tour in the summer.

661
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 5: We kind of start soon. We're doing some things in May,

662
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 5: and then yeah, when June comes around, it's like a

663
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 5: bunch of Europe stuff and a bunch of America stuff

664
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:56,320
Speaker 5: and a bunch of Australia stuff. And then I mean usually,

665
00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:00,320
Speaker 5: like we know what, our calendar is a year ahead

666
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 5: of time, right, So this is you know when we

667
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 5: when we start talking about touring somewhere like India or

668
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 5: somewhere somewhere like Japan, you get the memo and you're like, oh,

669
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 5: cool is it this year? Like no, it's twenty twenty seven.

670

Speaker 3: Wow. Yeah, So and you're going out with Josh Homie.

671
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 5: We're doing some shows with Queens of stone Age, our

672
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 5: old friends. All right, Yeah, we've toured. I mean I

673
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:31,399
Speaker 5: think the first time we toured the Queens of stone

674
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 5: Age was like nineteen ninety eight or something like that.

675
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 3: We go back as long as we go way back.

676
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 3: They're great. He's a big boy, he's a big dude. Yeah,

677
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 3: I'm super polite around him.

678
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:47,399
Speaker 5: Oh he's he's all bark, no bite. He's a good dude.

679
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 3: I know, I think I think he could bite, but

680
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 3: I'm but not when you're super polite around him. So

681
00:37:55,640 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 3: you guys want to hear another tune? All right, This

682
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 3: is song number seven kids. It's called I and I

683
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 3: love this one too. Unconditional. I was playing this on

684
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 3: rotation Johnny Knoxville here with the food Fighters. That was

685
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 3: that was unconditional. That was unconditional. Like that's one of

686
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 3: those songs that makes me want to jump back in

687
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,800
Speaker 3: the bull ring. Like there's certain songs that just makes

688
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 3: you want to go wow, and that one. Uh yeah,

689
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 3: I gotta be right the oldka Zunk right. Yeah, So

690
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 3: you know, like who sequences the albums? Because you know,

691
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 3: there's people are like maybe sequencing isn't as important as

692
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,280
Speaker 3: it used to be because the people buy music differently.

693
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 3: But I think it is.

694
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 5: I think it is.

695
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 3: Is that something you guys do collectively or.

696
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 5: It's funny because it's always I mean being you know,

697
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 5: kind of predominantly a live band where I love playing big,

698
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 5: long shows and when we go out on the road now,

699
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 5: it's like we have so many songs. It's like there's

700
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 5: over one hundred and fifty songs and we sort of

701
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,919
Speaker 5: have to choose. We have to choose carefully how to

702
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 5: keep the concert from being four hours long? Right, you know,

703
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 5: we kind of want to keep it, like keep it

704
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 5: to at least under three.

705
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:47,240
Speaker 3: What's your longest four? Fuck?

706
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, we did that one black Cat show in DC

707
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 5: where we went for it was like four hours long.

708
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 5: But it's weird because I start feeling bad for the audience,

709
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 5: you know, I do, like it's like, I mean, standing

710
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:06,280
Speaker 5: four hours of just like you know, there are times

711
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 5: where I just I just want to play every long

712
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 5: and let everyone go to sleep, you know, to like

713
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 5: give them a break, you know.

714
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 4: Yet well Taylor would say that our motto should be

715
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 4: leave them once.

716
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 3: In the last right.

717
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,359
Speaker 5: So yeah, so we've you know, we've been writing set

718
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 5: lists for a long time, and there's an art to

719
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 5: writing a set list, ye where you you know, you

720
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 5: want it to have some sort of not just sequence,

721
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 5: but flow where it ebbs and flows, it goes up

722
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 5: and down, and you know, you want to give people

723
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 5: a moment to breathe. But you also then want to

724
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 5: hit them really hard for four songs in a row

725
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 5: and put the songs that they know here and there

726
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,320
Speaker 5: and gotta So when it comes as sequencing a record,

727
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 5: I think it's really important because the song before the

728
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 5: next song will emphasize what happens next, or the song

729
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 5: that you're just fading out of will draw you into

730
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 5: the one that comes next.

731
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:04,840
Speaker 3: And it's funny.

732
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 5: We typically have been really really focused and involved in

733
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:14,320
Speaker 5: sequencing all of our records, and this one. Our manager

734
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 5: John sequenced this one, John Silva, and I don't think,

735
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 5: I don't know that that's ever happened. No, he stays

736
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 5: out of that kind of Yes, well.

737
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 3: He said up, he said, okay, I think I have

738
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 3: a sequence for the record, and he.

739
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 5: Said, like really, and it worked. It's so yeah, it's

740
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 5: really great. But it is a huge it's it's a

741
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 5: really important part because you know, and we still sequence

742
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 5: side A side.

743
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 3: B, so we sequence in terms of vinyl.

744
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 5: You know, there's a first song and a last song

745
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 5: on each side, and so you have to kind of

746
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:48,359
Speaker 5: do it that way.

747
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,840
Speaker 3: Yeah. We when we sequence the movie, it's like you

748
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 3: want to hit him right in the mouth with something

749
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 3: out of the gate. And then you don't have too

750
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 3: many gross things. And you did too many like Blent

751
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 3: Force's trauma things in a row. Yeah, No, I got

752
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 3: to fit the love interest in there in the right spot.

753
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:09,919
Speaker 3: Too much penis in a row. Well, I take that back.

754
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 3: You can never have too much penis. So now the

755
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 3: next song Child Actor. I think it's tied for first

756
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 3: place for my favorite song on the record. What is

757
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:22,240
Speaker 3: that about?

758
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 5: You know, It's just it's about I think that everybody

759
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 5: at some point in their life feels like they have

760
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 5: to be the person that everyone wants them to be.

761
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 5: And so you feel that sort of not only you

762
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 5: feel this this want for validation or acceptance, but you

763
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 5: also but sometimes in life you're trying to be something

764
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 5: just to be accepted, rather than feel comfortable with the

765
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:56,400
Speaker 5: person that you are. And so and that's you know,

766
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 5: when I say turn the cameras off, that's what it

767
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 5: has to do with. It has to do with shutting

768
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 5: everything off and just being able to, you know, be

769
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 5: okay with you know, the person that you are, and

770
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 5: so not feeling that obligation to be what other people

771
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 5: want of you or think you should be. And so

772
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 5: that's basically it.

773
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 3: Well, we're not turning the fucking cameras off, we're listening.

774
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 9: To child Actor, all right?

775
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 3: All right? Got both and I was hotter than the

776
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 3: Saint Louis Laundromat. I absolutely love that song. What happens

777
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,799
Speaker 3: to the songs that don't make the album? Do they

778
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 3: find their way out, Oh, we have.

779
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 5: So many of those. Sometimes Spitshine is actually one of

780
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 5: those songs, like there's there's moments.

781
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 3: We just have a bank of you know, a long time.

782
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:57,439
Speaker 5: Ago, fifteen years ago, maybe twenty years ago, the early

783
00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 5: days of the internets, I had this idea idea that

784
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 5: for all of those rifts that we don't use, we

785
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 5: should start a website called spare rifts dot com. And

786
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 5: it would basically be a free service, a bank of riffs,

787
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,399
Speaker 5: and you were free to take any one of those

788
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 5: rifts and use it on your own and write a song.

789
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 3: From those riffs.

790
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:28,880
Speaker 5: But you the deal was that you would have to

791
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 5: send then your interpretation of that riff, right, And so

792
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 5: the idea was like if because we have so many

793
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 5: spare riffs, it's that we could just flood. We could

794
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 5: flood the Internet with spare rifts, and then all of

795
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 5: a sudden you would hear like like a diaper commercial

796
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 5: and be like, that's one of my fucking riffs right there,

797
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 5: or like the New Army's song, it'd be like, that's

798
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 5: our riff. They use our riff.

799
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 3: You want a lot of riff? You either got a

800
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 3: lot of riffs, what happened to that idea? I don't know,

801
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 3: pan out, Maybe we'll still do it. Yeah, yeah, oh

802
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:12,719
Speaker 3: my god.

803
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 5: Y'all need some riffs?

804
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 3: All right?

805
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 5: I got riffs.

806
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, we got full of riffs. Yeah all right. Here's

Speaker 8: mind blowing concert.

825
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:48,760
Speaker 3: Wow. The first Yeah, I saw a Germs album out there.

826
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 10: First show I ever saw was de O on the

827
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 10: Holy Divers tour. Arlington and Santa Barbara, but me and

828
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:58,440
Speaker 10: my friends would come down to there. Used to be

829
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 10: a club out here in Recita called the Country Club.

830
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 10: We went to a lot of shows out there, like

831
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 10: you know, like metal stuff in the earlier like Keel

832
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 10: and Armored Saint and stuff like that.

833
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:11,399
Speaker 3: Wow, yeah, that's awesome. What about you, Dake?

834
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:15,880
Speaker 5: I had a Bad Brains moment in the eighties where

835
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 5: they were.

836
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 3: I grew up outside of Washington, d C.

837
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:22,880
Speaker 5: In Virginia, and they Bad Brains started in DC, but

838
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 5: like way earlier than I saw them. I didn't see

839
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 5: them until like maybe nineteen eighty four or something like that.

840
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 5: And it's one thing to see like a really powerful

841
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 5: punk rock band, but when they're that good, I mean,

842
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:42,239
Speaker 5: they were just better than everybody, and the energy was

843
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:45,839
Speaker 5: just so off the charts that that became the thing

844
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,840
Speaker 5: that I still did this day. I've never seen anything

845
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 5: like it. It was unbelievable.

846
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:53,319
Speaker 9: I just spent the last four answers trying to come

847
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:58,319
Speaker 9: up with on myself, and I don't have recollections of

848
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 9: first shows, but I was thinking of like the first

849
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 9: living legend that I ever saw perform live was probably Austy,

850
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 9: but thinking like, Wow, I'm seeing this guy in person.

851
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:09,800
Speaker 9: But two thousand and seven is a year that stands

852
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:11,759
Speaker 9: out for me because I saw two bands I never

853
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 9: thought I would see.

854
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 3: Which were the Police in led Zeppelin. Wow, yeah open

855
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 3: mine's easy.

856
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 4: Mine was the Runaways because we were in high school.

857
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 5: They were in high school.

858
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:27,440
Speaker 4: And we were watching them and we finally had this

859
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:32,239
Speaker 4: moment of they're our age, we can do this, and

860
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:34,319
Speaker 4: that's when we started the germs because we're just like

861
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 4: and I think about it, and they wouldn't go on

862
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 4: tour all the time around the country, around the world,

863
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 4: and I bet you thousands of bands were started for

864
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:44,880
Speaker 4: the same reason, just like they're our age.

865
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:46,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, and they.

866
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 4: Would put it on the record, you know, their first

867
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:50,359
Speaker 4: album was out and said leading forward sixteen years old

868
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 4: and all that stuff, and we're just.

869
00:48:51,440 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 3: Like, that's awesome, Yeah, go bout you. I was. I didn't,

870
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 3: It's I'm fucking I was sitting here thinking do I

871
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:07,879
Speaker 3: bring it up? I am. I'm too embarrassed to even

872
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:12,920
Speaker 3: tell them, but I was. I was fourteen, and you

873
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:15,400
Speaker 3: know that, You're like, hey, call the radio and you

874
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:18,440
Speaker 3: can win tickets. And I did that all the time,

00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:22,840
Speaker 3: and I want tickets to Rick Springfield until Tuesday.

Speaker 3: That. I was like, fuck it, I'll tell them life changing.

878
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 3: It wasn't life changing, Rick. I'm sweating for that. I

879
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:38,319
Speaker 3: revealed that. I'm so embarrassed. Come on, let's listen to

880
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:42,400
